Do you have an autistic or ADHD child that struggles to attend secondary school?

As a neurodivergent team of parents, educators and wellbeing experts, we understand the unique challenges that neurodivergent young people face, and how distressing it can be seeing your child unhappy, anxious, or fearful about attending school.

That’s why we’re running a series of FREE online sessions throughout February to support you and your child.

 

Who can join?

  • We welcome waitlist signups for children in year 7-13, with sessions for years 8 and 9 starting this month.
     

  • No formal diagnosis is required to sign up
     

  • As part of our sessions we are offering a one-to-one parent call where you will have the chance to meet the team and tell us your family's unique needs.
    Select yes in the form if you would like one.

If you have any questions about the sessions or who can attend contact us at hello@uncommonminds.co.uk

For young people
we’re running a series of 45-minute online sessions where they can:

  • Connect with kids who face similar worries

  • Take part in interactive tasks and games

  • Understand what’s behind their challenges

  • Learn techniques that will help them feel comfortable and confident

 

There’s no pressure to be on camera and we use a range of communication techniques. So if your child finds verbal communication difficult, they can participate fully without the need to talk.

"This is one of the few things I've done that has actually been written by and for people like me"
Sam, previous workshop participant

For parents we’re offering:

  • An introductory one-to-one session exploring your individual child’s needs, so we can tailor our group support appropriately
     

  • Online parent workshops where you can meet parents like you, and learn evidence-based techniques to support your child.

 

This is a supportive space, where we respect every child and family’s needs. No formal diagnosis needed for young people to attend!
